NCIt definition : A procedure that introduces chemotherapy to blood vessels adjacent to a tumor, for
the purpose of both treating the tumor and interrupt blood flow to the tumor, which
serves both to trap the chemotherapeutic agent at the tumor and to decrease the amount
of nutrients flowing to the tumor.;
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A procedure in which the blood supply to the tumor is blocked surgically
or mechanically and anticancer drugs are administered directly into the tumor. This
permits a higher concentration of drug to be in contact with the tumor for a longer
period of time.;
